@Graunie:
The USS Lexington took two torpedo hits and 3 bombs during the Battle of the Coral Sea and continued flight operations until the battle was over. Some explosions later sunk it, but that’s pretty impressive. That was before they started putting torpedo hulls on the carriers.
The USS Yorktown dodged 8 torpedos in that battle. Got all busted up with bombs and scrambled back for the defense of Midway after a few days worth of repairs.
If they were so easy to kill why didn’t they just kill them before they did so much damage to the Japanese fleet? When the reality is every ship and plane is pretty much focused on taking out said carriers.
They are two hit pieces for sure.
Amen.
I also like Gargantua’s idea of having both carrier types available to purchase. You could consider one an escourt carrier and the other the main battle carrier. I am guessing Imperious Leader can tell us what their abreviations should be (CV, CVE, ABCD, etc.).
